LONDON: The US is “destroying” the established world order because it tears up its stance on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Kyiv’s ambassador to the UK mentioned on Thursday (Mar 6).
Valery Zaluzhny, who grew to become ambassador in 2024 after three years as commander-in-chief of Ukraine’s military, mentioned the US was now making an attempt to satisfy Russia “midway” and Moscow’s subsequent goal “might be Europe”.
It got here as European Union leaders started crisis talks in Brussels on confronting US President Donald Trump’s pivot away from Kyiv and its allies.
Since an explosive assembly between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky final week, Washington has suspended army help and intelligence sharing which have helped Ukraine struggle off Russia’s invasion.
Trump’s rapprochement with Moscow has shocked allies, and fears are rising in Ukraine and Europe that he’s making an attempt to drive Kyiv to simply accept a peace deal largely beneficial to Moscow.
“We see that it’s not simply the axis of evil and Russia making an attempt to revise the world order however the US is lastly destroying this order,” Zaluzhny instructed a convention on the Chatham Home suppose tank.
Talks between the US and Russia confirmed the White Home “makes steps in direction of the Kremlin, making an attempt to satisfy them midway”, he mentioned.
He added that the suspension of intelligence sharing and an earlier US choice to oppose a United Nations decision condemning Russian aggression in Ukraine have been “an enormous problem for your entire world”.
